Beige, Tan and Creme - oh my!

14 years ago

Help! We selected our living room sofas and chair - and they are currently on hold, awaiting our fabric choices. I want to keep the body fabrics as neutral as possible, so I can update over time with new pillows and curtains.

We selected a traditional style camelback with rolled arms, turned feet - no skirt. Right now, I have my 15 year old sofa and loveseat slipcovered with an off-white twill. I like it, but it does take a beating. I'm concerned if I go with the same type fabric, I'll be happy, until the first stain. I can't simply throw them in the wash either, since it will be upholstered, not slipcovered. My other neutral options are beige with a gray undertone, or tan with gold undertones. Beyond pure gray, the true neutral options start to wain at that point. I was hoping there was more of a camel colored tan in their collection, but the only tan has quite a bit of gold tone in it.

Do gold or grey undertones make it fairly limited to coordinate color with? should I stick with the natural twill?
